There are two main reasons on why the federalist party purchased Louisiana territory. The main two reasons for doing this was because the tie they had with Britain and compromising with Napoleon.
The Louisiana Purchase was done by Thomas Jefferson who was a Democrat-Republican. The Federalist Party thus opposed the move.
There was nothing in the constitution about buying land.
"The Federalists strongly opposed the purchase, favoring close relations with Britain over closer ties to Napoleon, and were concerned that the United States had paid a large sum of money just to declare war on Spain." I COPIED OFF OF WIKIPEDIA. I DO NOT CLAIM THIS.
No, Patrick Wilson was not a Federalist. He was a politician and lawyer from Virginia who was associated with the Anti-Federalist faction and opposed the ratification of the United States Constitution.
Federalist are people who opposed the Connstitution

Federalists, despite being the party that supported a strong central government, opposed the Louisiana Purchase. It was opposed mostly because President Thomas Jefferson, a Democratic-Republican who supported a strict, or narrow, view of the Constitution, went against his principles of small government and bought the territory anyway. The Federalists used this as fuel against Jefferson and the other Democratic-Republicans in an era where party politics sharply divided the country.
